Mammo nor ultrasound picked up my TWO sizeable tumors in one breast! I had an unusual symptom and strongly requested an MRI … boom! I was called within hours for three biopsies ( one in enlarged node which was positive. So… unilateral mastectomy with reconstruction on right. I am now monitoring annually with mammo/ultrasound AND MRI spaced 6 mos. Apart. It’s the MRI that gives me comfort; I’d rather a false positive than the false negative I experienced with mammo/ultrasound. Plus MRI monitors the reconstructive side too.

Best to you with your decision 🌸
